Tulipi-Cord Knitter Machine- Wool

Once I got the hang of this and actually followed the instructions correctly, this makes amazing, consistent i-cord. Even though I am a crocheter, not a knitter, I use this all the time for various projects. It is so handy to have around and really transforms normal yarn into a nice thick cord.

Because we all need another craft toy….This one works great. The crank is smooth and the icord comes out nicely. I really like the weight that comes with this knitter.

This machine makes a beautiful i-cord once you get the knack of getting it started. There are YouTube videos that explain how to use it, which I found more helpful than the printed instructions. I would add to the instructions that after you grab the yarn onto the hooks, watch the next round very carefully and make sure that the first loop pulls all the way up and over the second loop-use the included crochet hook to pull it over if needed, otherwise you’ll have a spinning mess of yarn and no cord. Once the beginning rounds are done, it is happy spinning and an i-cord that would have taken hours on dpns is done in minutes!

Just used this recently. Have to use lighter weight yarns but makes a good I-cord. Tried to learn on worsted yarn and it was a mess. I think it is a simple tool and makes the I-cord work a breeze. Wish it wasn't so expensive for what it is.

Makes perfect cords and takes no time at all to make them. Very easy to learn to use. I would recommend to anyone wanting to make I cords.

Makes great shoulder strap FOR HAND CROCHET purses or grocery bags.

This is the second one I have purchased and neither one has worked from the beginning. None of the latches will open or close on their own. Waste of money. Haven't been able to start our projects yet not sure what to try next.

TAKE YOUR TIME, it's always useful to learn from mistakes. It does take getting used too, do not get intimated by other reviewers/influencers using "drills" to mass produce or rush the project.If you love your craft, then take the time to know your machine. It took me a handful of times to get the rhythm but when you do ... Believe me it's rewarding and gratifying.The yarn once you get it going, the weight does the tension job for you. Do not put tension on the yarn. That was my problem and why I was failing.
